Support groups meet in person in counties across Florida and online in our LupusConnect Community.
People with lupus often feel alone with their disease and the everyday struggles that the disease brings to their lives, especially during times when the disease is active. LFA support groups provide a warm and caring environment where people with lupus, their family members, caregivers, and loved ones can share their experiences, methods of coping and insights into living with this chronic illness. Our support group facilitators are certified and have been through LFA training.
Support Groups meet:
In-person
For the safety of our constituents, our in-person support groups have been postponed until further notice. In the meantime, we are here for you every step of the way.
